preston on the minds of our people.
particularly upon the youth of the
land, as to the paramount importance
of upholding the constitution as the
sheet anchor of our liberties the
bulwark of our prosperity and hap
piness of our people. In July, 1888
there was celebration in this city
intended not only to manifest the graf
ifcation Of the people on the adoption
of the Constitution by ten Of the
States, but also to stimulate its ratif-
cation by all the States composing the
old Confederation. On that occasion
the professional display, which re.
ceiv9d the countenance and the hearty
support of the leading men of the
period, representing all branches ot

subject. and confidently relying upor

Home-Nrade Cream Candy.

Writer in Country Gentleman.
Of the French creams there are two kinds
the cooked and uncooked. The former is the
more economical when eggs are scarce. and to
my mind it is the more delicious, but 1 will
give both. For the first. put two cupfus of
graduated sugar and half a cupful of boiling
water into a granite or porcelain basin, and let
IL boil exactly ten minutes. Take from the
stove, pour IL into q China bowl, flavor tast tie,
and beat rapidly with a spoon until it becomes a
creamy paste. Roll il into little balls, to be
covered with melted chocolate, used with fruit
too stiff and cold. set the bowl in pan of boil
ing water. which will keep it so that you can
mould it.
For the uncooked cream break the whites of
two eggs into bowl, add exactly equal
measure OF cold water. and stir in powdered
sugar until you have it stiff enough to be
nodded into shape by the fingers Flavor
with any essence you like.
Now for the varieties to be made with either
of these as 8 foundation Mold some of the
cream into little balls half an inch in diameter.
and clap either side the half of an English
walnut. Have ready some chocolate melted In a
bowl set over boiling tea kettle, and after these
little balls of cream are dry, stick long hatpin
into them and dip in the melted chocolate,
aud you have most delicious chocolate creams.
Roll them in until thoroughly coated. They
may also be dipped in the chocolate after putting
the nuts on, or the cream may be colored with
a few drops of cochneaL Another variety is
given by adding the juice of an orange or lemon
to the cream, and as it thins 1t somewhat, stir
in more sugar. For cream figs. tear
the fig in two. leaving 1t joined at the stem
end; insert oblone piece of the cream, and
press the fig together at the bottom. Serve the
dates in the same way. Pineapple. any kind
OF preserved fruit. may be drained from the
syrup, cut into dice and rolled in the cream. A
novel candy is made by molding some OF this
cream into a fat bar; spread with any kind of
Jelly that is so stiff that it can be cut with
knife, and put on another layer of cream.
most delightful nut candy is made by stir
ring several kinds Of chopped nuts into the
cream, then make into squares bars, and
wrap in waxed paper il it is to be kept for any
length of time. Seeded raisins. figs ano citron.
chopped fine, make fruit mixture that can be
used in the same way. The cream may be fla
vored. and at the same time colored brown, by
stirring in melted chocolate. In making the
boiled candies they must be allowed to boil fast
and hard.

there is no blackberry more proifc-it is sim

PLENTY OF NUTS TO CRACK.
Clever Dealers Who Have Learned How to
Create Public Wanrs


1--WE have revolutionized the nut trade this
year." said Washington street dealer this
morning. Formerly nuts were all sold in the
sacks just they came, dirt. empty shells and
all. Purchasers would lose two or three pounds
of rubbish to every bag and get many bad nuts
beside. Now we have a process that removes
all of the empty shells and polishes the good
nuts until they clean and ornamental for
table use. Then we assert them, putting wal
nuts, almonds, tilberts, pecans and Brazil nuts
together in one and and five-pound fancy paper
boxes, with nut-cracker and pick in each box"
Are you selling many put up in this way7'
Enormous quantities. Our season begins
October and lasts four months. We sold $780,
600 pounds the first month, and expect to sell
million and half pounds this year We keep
twenty men at work night and day and then
can not turn out the nuts fast enough"
''What is the cause of the great demand for
them?"
'.Why, it is so much more convenient to buy
a neat box of assorted nuts ready to go on the
table, and then, too, they are cheaper than half
dozen kinds in separate packages. We pack
twenty-five and fifty of the pound boxes in cases
and ship them to grocers all over the country.
There is large demand South and we are send
ing great mauy West"
